Spread the word about Child Safe Tourism

Our actions impact the lives of children working and living in tourist areas.

No matter where we are in the world, we each have a responsibility towards children; especially in keeping them safe from abuse. Children in tourist areas are especially vulnerable to physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Sometimes without realising it, we may do things that inadvertently keep children exposed to a cycle of abuse. So it’s important we know how to take simple actions to minimise harm to children and help create a Child Safe Tourism environment. The Child Safe Tourism campaign aims to arm us with knowledge and information on the simple things each of us can do in order to be a child safe traveller.

Make the Pledge

I understand that dedicated small actions combined can make a big difference to children. I pledge to be a Child Safe Traveller and make conscious choices that help children in tourism destinations.
